At the UFC 326 post-fight presser, Dana White clearly stated that he’s not happy with Arman Tsarukyan.
Earlier this month, Tsarukyan engaged in a post-fight melee with Georgio Poullas at RAF 06, and the video of their brawl made rounds on the Internet.
During their wrestling match, Poullas repeatedly eye-poked, pushed, slapped, and landed several hand strikes on the UFC lightweight. In the final round, Tsarukyan was ahead on the scorecards and waited for the final buzzer, after which he pushed Poullas down and punched him in the face.
“Ahalkalakets” believes that after this brawl, the UFC should be happy with him.
However, Dana White is NOT. During the UFC 326 post-fight press conference, White said:
I am not thrilled with Arman right now. And there are a lot of different reasons. It’s not just the stuff that you see publicly… Listen, there are plenty of guys who wrestle that have been respectful with other guys, and I understand there was some back and forth [at RAF 06], but where there is smoke, there is fire, and Arman has been smoking a lot lately.”
Check out Dana White’s comments below:
Amran Tsarukyan recently said that he has spoken to Hunter Campbell and expects to fight for the UFC lightweight title by the end of this year. If not, there are potentially other lucrative options on the table.
However, his actions outside the octagon can once more become the reason he would not get to fight for the title, despite being the top contender.
Arman Tsarukyan wants to get back to business
Earlier tonight, Arman Tsarukyan was in attendance at UFC 326. Meanwhile, Georgio Poullas was also present in the T-Mobile Arena and was seated just a few seats behind Tsarukyan.
In a video shared by Nina-Marie Daniele, the Armenian was spotted with handcuffs on, trying to imply that he will stay out of trouble before his next fight. In the same clip, he quipped:
No more fu**ing around. Only business.”
While Arman Tsarukyan’s next UFC fight is yet to be announced, he will return to the mats at RAF 07 later this month to run it back with Georgio Poullas.
